Who has the oldest speakers?


When my older brother came home from the service in 1971, he had a very large Pioneer stereo system. It came with some very large floorstanding speakers. I don't see him very often, but I saw him last month and to my surprise, he still has the same system, with the same speakers and believe it or not, it sounds great. He takes really good care of the system and it is in immaculate shape. That makes those speaker about 30 years old, more or less.

How about you guys?

OHM Ls I bought in 1978 that I recently refurbished.

The cabinets on my OHM F-5s are refurbished OHm F cabinets. Chances are these are a tad older even, perhaps from the mid 70s.
Greetings,
I have a 1910 & 1916 Victrola. One has the funnel horn passive speaker and one has the inside cabinet with doors on it as the speaker. They look good in my room. They only play 78"s, fun to listen to once in a while.

I had a pair of Philips 2 ways,, did not care for the larger 3 way, as I never cared for midranges. I thought the world of that speaker,,, til I bought the MTM Seas Thors,,, ,, jst for fun I pulled the Philips out the attic as a shootoutt,,,oh man, I had no idea the Philips were that poor,,but at the time they were the highest Fidelity of all the showroom models I auditioned. Clean, clear, no barking midragne,,, just amazing how the seas completely trumped the Philips,,,,,
The Seas Thors were soldered froma kit purchased back in,,,2003,, Richard Grey was kind enough to take time and solder the connects.. I am close to having xovers upgraded and will have Richard resolder the new outside cabinets xovers to the drivers.
Richard is generous with his time,, doesn;’t ask for much, but I make sure he is compensated for his skills and knowledge.
